FAULT CODE HIERARCHY SYSTEM

摘要

A fault code analyzer for a vehicle includes a fault code memory device configured to store a plurality of active and inactive fault codes for the vehicle and a priority processor coupled to the memory device. The priority processor is configured to: prioritize each fault code within the plurality of active and inactive fault codes; determine a first root cause fault code, the first root cause fault code corresponding to the highest prioritized fault code; determine a first set of interaction fault codes, the first set of interaction fault codes relating to the first root cause fault code; and provide the first root cause fault code and the first set of interaction fault codes to an interface device of a user.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method of providing a root cause fault code for a vehicle comprising:
receiving, by a processor, a plurality of fault codes corresponding to one or more conditions of the vehicle being outside of an acceptable operating range; prioritizing, by the processor, each fault code within the plurality of fault codes; determining, by the processor, a first root cause fault code corresponding to the highest prioritized fault code in the plurality of fault codes; determining, by the processor, a first set of interaction fault codes, the first set of interaction fault codes relating to the first root cause fault code; and providing, by the processor, the first root cause fault code and the first set of interaction fault codes to an interface device.
